Abstract
This study was carried out to obtain information about a several environmental factors influencing on the bionomical characteristics of Protaetia brevitarsis and Allomyrina dichotoma, which have been used for an important traditional medicinal stuffs. The moisture contents of humus affected the oviposition of P. brevitarsis and A. dichotoma, showing a suitable condition in range of $65{\sim}75%$. Very high or very low moisture condition in humus decreased the egg laying of P. brevitarsis and A. dichotoma, Also, moisture condition of humus was an important factor influencing on the egg and larval survival, egg developmental period, and feeding activity of P. brevitarsis and A. dichotoma.
